I'll tell you how it happened. Either the owner or the IA was stupid enough to
ask the FSDO their opinion. After that, you are in the paperwork mill, and woe
betide you. You will never exit the other end unscathed.
Just SHUT YOUR MOUTH, do a LOGBOOK ENTRY, and both you and the Feds are going to
be mightily happy.

Jim,

Obviously, if it was an IFR installation, he'd have to get a field
approval, because it's specifically required. However, from what I've
heard from a close friend, who owns an avionics shop, the FAA has
dictated that all FSDOs require a field approval for ALL GPS
installations, IFR or VFR. It's bull ****, but apparently, that's what
they want. Don't ask me why.
